That is one good looking T. I would love to see more people go this direction with a Model T build. There are just way too many ugly ones running around and still being built that are straight out of the 80s and 90s style book.

&#8220;I like casual hot rods. Cars that are built right with the right look, but that don&#8217;t amplify anxiety when you drive them, park them, enjoy them&#8230; I don&#8217;t need the complication of perfection.&#8221;

i think this applies to any of us over 60. we understand that it was all about our individual tastes dictated esthetically or in most cases financially. today we have a checklist for "old school"? sorry most of you never heard a school bell! have a great day and keep building to your taste and style otherwise we'll all be back to Nehru jackets!

Good timing on this post Ryan... The "T" is perfect because the National T-Bucket Alliance is having their national meet in Dayton Ohio this week. I'll be in attendance with my 1920 "T" Jalopy. Hopefully there will be a lot more T's like this in attendance! I'll get some pics & post them.

If you ever get close to Honest Charlies, swing in. I went for a tour of H.C.'s and Coker's there and Mike Goodman came out to show us the place. His usual counter guy who does the tours was at lunch so Mike took over. It wasn't the first time I'd met him. He often does the Honest Charlie's tents at rod runs all over the country.

In the front of the museum is a relatively awful looking T-bucket out of the good old days back in the early 70's when the original Rod & Custom was pumping up the new term "street rods". Mike will brush you by it. But another old rodder friend of mine, Charlie Overfelt, told me of having Mike blow by him on the way to Street Rod Nats #2 driving this primitive bucket and pulling a homemade trailer. I was in college and only dreamed of such adventures back then. But Mike is an old guy who lived them. He doesn't promote this like so many guys who now appear to us like Mickey Mantle or Ty Cobb, ancient sport superstars; the guys who magnify their early accomplishments. He was there, he's genuine, and no matter what you think about his products or his prices, Goodman's got the pedigree to back it up.
